Marshland Study

Marshland Study, L. Daniel, 6 x 6, SOLD

I did this small study in preparation for the larger diptych that I posted yesterday. It gave me a chance to prethink some of the color relationships and play with the grasses. I am always trying to figure out how to make grasses look authentic without getting too fussy. See more Small Works

Laurel, as someone who sees a lot of marshland, I think you did a bang up job depicting the grasses - yes, always hard to do... but my favorite part of this painting is the wee little strip of violet in the far right distance.... perfect!
